1988 Catalina 30 MkII
Specifications
Description
The accommodation plan of the Catalina 30 has been so popular that the layout has remained unchanged for the first 25 years. The V-berth cabin forward is followed by a port side head and shower and starboard side-hanging locker. Further aft the main saloon has an L-shaped dinette to port and settee to starboard followed by a good sized galley to port and navigation station to starboard. There is a starboard side quarter berth which is plenty wide for two people. The companionway opening is exceptionally wide which, when open, makes the cabin appear even bigger than it is. A cockpit dodger or awning is a must with this design for adequate ventilation of the cabin in inclement weather.
A combination of wide beam, good ballast/displacement ratio of .42, and relatively low sail area/displacement ratio of 15.1 results in the Catalina 30 being a very stiff boat under sail. This is a feature many sailors find comforting.
This boat is well equipped and ready to cruise.
